how much equals how much - please helpSubstituting dried yeast for fresh yeast in bread recipes?
1tble dried yeast = 1oz fresh yeast = 1 sachet of quick yeast.
Allison's dried yeast is the best I've found, it needs to be activated with sugar and warm water before useSubstituting dried yeast for fresh yeast in bread recipes?
This was just on my final last week... haha.
ok so going from dry yeast (professional dry instant yeast- 96% yeast) to fresh...
dry yeast DIVIDED BY .3333 = how much fresh yeast you need
how much fresh yeast you need MINUS dry yeast originally called for = how much water to subtract from total recipe
fresh yeast is 30% water, so you need to account for the extra water you are putting into your recipe when you put in the fresh yeast, thats why you need to calculate water to subtract from the recipe.
I hope that helps!
You need to 'proof' the yeast... put some warm water (100 deg. F) in a glass and add a tablespoon of sugar, the sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and mix it in. Once you get an active yeast going, you pitch it in the bread dough.
By ';fresh yeast'; do you mean LIQUID YEAST? That is an active yeast that can be used with known effects.. but for the average home baker, the proofed dry yeast will work quite nicely.
Usually one packet per loaf of bread. What you do is put the yeast in the water for a few minutes before mixing it into the flour. This wakes it up or causes it to ';bloom';. Other than that there is no difference between the two.
The instructions on the yeast box will be, the best guide. Also if the yeast is 'quick action' it will not have to be mixed with water but mixed dry with the flour.
lol just had to look this up yesterday myself. 1 pkg of dry yeast (2.1/4 tsp) = 25 gr. fresh yeast so i hope you have a scale
bread turned out great
1 cake fresh yeast = 1 packet dry yeast = 2录 tsp. dry yeast
I have only seen dried yeast in packets and bottles.
what the heck is fresh yeast?
